The new Romulan T6 an "escort " or a "battle cruiser"?

only 7 weapon slots & only 4 fore?!
both fed and KDF are 5x3 the rom is 4x3?
6k less hall hp?
60 inertia? sure ....

what's the difference between this and the intel or fleet/intel?

If you going to build a battle cruiser build one.

    Because it is not a battlecruiser - it is a T6 Mogai, which is basically a 'destroyer-ish' warbird. Just because they released it in a 'battlecruiser pack' doesn't make it a 'battlecruiser'.

    Don't like? Don't buy. That's the surest way to make your point. :)

    It's a Heavy Warbird...don't be confused by the typical shoddy work done on blogs.

    Heavy Warbird, which is pretty much a Destroyer, I appreciate Romulan ships being distinct, Frankly I wish there was more distinction with the KDF ship not being a Fed copy.

    But then I am a bias Vor'cha/Kamarang Fanboy, who was never a fan of the Mogh, and has a distinct distaste for Federation Battlecruisers.

    Perhaps some would have preferred a T6 Scimitar, but that is two different threads.
    Thanks for the Advanced Light Cruiser, Allied Escort Bundles, Jem-Hadar Light Battlecruiser, and Mek'leth

    Have you actually read the blogs? Seen the stats? Looked at the starship traits package and console set bonuses? That thing is going to be one mean "mutha" in hands of the right captain! I can live with having one less weapon thanks.

    I'm still debating getting it, just having too much fun with the Pilot, T'Varo, and Vet ship at the Moment. But she is one sexy Bird, and while noit a fan of the Mogai, I very much love the Valdore Skin. I have the Faeht, but I prefer the T5U Fleet T'Varo.

    But 1 Romulan, 2 Remans. But with 1 using Pilot, 1 Command, & 1 Intel, could work, and the T6 Mogai looks much more interesting than the Aethel I have been holding myself back from.

    TRIBBLE Cryptic's descriptions, naming conventions.

    Commander TAC Station. That alone should tell you what kind of ship it is.

    I fully realize it a tactical variant and not an engineering one :)

    My gripe if you will is that unlike the other 2 it's pretty much an Intel warbird clone.(pretty close)
    You wouldn't draw a parallel between the fed battle-cruiser and the Intel escort , would you?

    Also I'm not entirely sure that +critical severity plus weapon slot would not outperform +dmg.

    As for the consoles, yes they are nice if you have them but remember that part of the 2set is handled by the cruiser comm array. (granted rom never had that one)

    Wouldn't draw a line between the Morrigu and Faeht either...I mean...lolwut? No Gather Intel, way different BOFF layout, shield/hull, maneuverability, etc, etc, etc...

    The trait is malfunctioning/not working as intended/ bugged http://perfectworld.vanillaforums.com/discussion/1191918/emergency-weapons-cycle-bugged#latest
